Snow Lake Hike, near Alpental on I-90

Taylor Love looking out at Snow Lake, situated in the Central Cascades of Washington.
A fairly easy hike of six miles round trip, with further options to go farther and to more lakes.
1,300 feet of elevation gain.

Taylor getting ready to dive in near the outlet of the lake.
Even during the last few days of August, the water is cold.
Around the lake on parts of the South shore you can still see snow many feet deep.
It's a clear and cold lake.
